International flavor adds interest to U.S. recipe for higher learning Another international student pipeline is being developed between UTC and the Tung Fang Institute of Technology of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, which signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" last November. With this document, Tung Fang Institute of Technology designates UTC as the first four-year university in the United States to offer its students an English as a Second Language (ESL) program. In July 2005, twenty students and one instructor from Tung Fang Institute of Technology will attend a three-week ESL program specifically designed for Tung Fang Institute students. The Tung Fang Institute students will live in UTC campus area housing and will tour and visit area attractions while they are not in classes. The students will study and practice reading and writing English, and at the end of the program they will take a TOEFL test to determine if they are eligible to study at UTC as undergraduate or graduate students. The Tung Fang Institute ESL Program is a result of two years effort on behalf of Terry Olsen, President of World Trade Society of Chattanooga. Olsen is a UTC alumnus and former Brock Scholar, and he is married to Miao-Ju Olsen (a native of Taiwan). "Tung Fang has committed funding for the students to study at UTC," Olsen said."Two other schools are also interested in participating in an ESL program on campus. There is a market for this."
